Instructions Overview:

  1. Prep Nuts: Start by toasting your choice of nuts in the oven until golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool.
  2. Process the Mixture: In a food processor, finely chop the nuts. Then add the honey, all the spices, the dried fruits, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and sticks together when pinched.
  3. Forming the Sugar Plums: Scoop the mixture using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop to portion out the plums. Roll them into balls between your palms. They should be about 1 ½ inch in diameter.
  4. Coating: Roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated. This gives them a beautiful crystallized look and a sweet crunch.
  5. Storing: These sugar plums can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. They tend to taste better as they age a little, so making them a day or two in advance can enhance their flavor.

Tips:

  • Balance the Flavors: If you find the mixture too sticky, add a bit more nuts or dried fruits. If it’s too dry, add a bit more honey.
  • Experiment with Dried Fruits: Don’t be afraid to mix and match the types of dried fruits based on what you like or what’s available.
  • Adjusting Spices: The spice quantities are adaptable. Feel free to adjust according to your taste preferences.

This is a customizable recipe, so feel free to adapt it to your taste preferences and the ingredients you have on hand. Enjoy making and indulging in these delightful treats!
